However, the overall association between urbanization and post-stroke disability remains unknown.</p></div><div><h3>Method</h3><p>A total of 21,678 stroke patients were selected from the China National Stroke Screening Survey (2013–2018); all included patients had at least one follow-up record. The modified Rankin Scale (mRS), a clinician-reported functional outcome measure for recovery from stroke, was utilized to assess post-disability at each visit. A larger mRS score means severer disability. The urbanization level before each visit was evaluated based on 5-year average satellite measurements of night-time light (NTL) or urban land cover (i.e., proportion of impervious surface). We used a fixed-effects model to estimate the association between urbanization level and risk of disability (i.e., mRS score).

The association was stronger in patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, dyslipidemia, hypertension, or diabetes compared with the corresponding reference group.
